I'lie differences within the Republican par ty then are the difference within that party now. It is the Old Guard re actionary group, dominated by preda tory corporate and financial interest -, seeking only special privileges, again.t the liheral and progressive element representing the great producing area of the west. Of the till Republicans in the Sen ate .'I,'I are from the west, and it is therefore apparent that if the pro gressive west wil Island together, it can, with .Democratic assistance, change the whole trend of legislation at this session from reactionary to progressive. Whetlier the Progressive,-, wil lretain the advantage they have gained will lie demonstrated latei when the railroad loan bill of $. r i(>(l°- (MHi.IMMI comes up, together with the War Loan funding bill, a most sin ister reactionary and hitherto unhearn ' of piece of legislation, in that it eon - _ fei s upon the secretary" of the 'ly-oa*- ury sole power to do as he pleases with sll ,(Klo,M>o,t)Hl of war loan debts and the absurd Fordne.v Tariff bill in the interest of the manufacturing da. and detrimental to agricultural inter ests generally; also when the confer ence shall take place on the pending tax bill.

Hither the Old Cuartl must go on surrendering or the Progressive Republican element of the west must again submit to be cajoled and fooled if the party is to he hedl together.
